Silver City's Jalisco Cafe Wins Reinstatement of Food Service Permit

Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham and her Environment Department lost in court over a Silver City, New Mexico restaurant's food service permit.

The Silver City Daily Press reported:

Sixth Judicial District Court Judge Jarod Hofacket directed the New Mexico Environment Department to reinstate the food service permit for downtown Silver City’s Jalisco Cafe during a hearing Wednesday afternoon, and denied a request by the secretaries of the Environment Department and the New Mexico Department of Health that Hofacket order Jalisco’s owners to shut down the restaurant pending resolution of both civil and criminal cases now in the courts. 

Jalisco Cafe’s owners opened for limited dine-in service May 15, in defiance of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s public health order in effect at the time, and continued to stay open after their food service permit was revoked by the Environment Department on May 19. The restaurant remained open this week. 

“We want to let you all know we WON our court case to get our license reinstated!!!!!!” the owners of the Jalisco Cafe announced on Facebook, shortly after the 45-minute-long emergency hearing adjourned. 

Hopefully, this will be the first of many court cases the diminutive dictator of Santa Fe will lose.
